A ridiculous book, also called ridiculous book, ridiculous magazine or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) simply ridiculous, is a publication that consists of comics art in the form of successional adjoining panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are frequently accompanied by descriptive prose and written narrative, generally, dialogue contained in word balloons representational of the comics art form. Although comics have some origins in 18th century Japan, ridiculous books were first vulgarized ( disputed – bandy) in the United States and the United Kingdom during the 1930s. The first ultramodern ridiculous book, Famous Cartoons, was released in the US in 1933 and was a reprinting of earlier review humor ridiculous strips, which had established numerous of the story- telling bias used in comics.
